Q

Equilibrium State

Steady State

A

Equilibrium - NO transfer of a particular substance or energy from one compartment to the other

Steady State: does not change with time – the amount or concentration of a substance in a compartment is constant

Uses Energy to maintain the state

GAP Junctions

AUTOCRINE

PARACRINE

NERVOUS

Endocrine

A

Gap junctions: adjacent plasma membranes - intercellular communication or transfer of low molecular- weight substances (made of connexin)

Autocrine: substance secreted by a cell acts back on surface receptors of the same cell

Paracrine: substance secreted by a cell acts on adjacent cells

Nervous: substance released by an axon terminal that influences a target neuron or cell

Endocrine: substance secreted by a cell that is distributed by the blood

Q

Signal Transduction

Plasma Membrane Receptors

On plasma membrane or In Cell

A

(LIGAND) first messengers from transmitting cells can convert their info to a second messenger within the target cell

First messengers include peptides, protein hormones, growth factors, steroids, ions, metabolic products, gases, light

Second messengers include cAMP, cGMP, IP3, calcium, and DAG

Q

G protein-Coupled Receptors

A

Trimeric GTP-binding regulatory proteins

Respond to first messengers
Proteins, small peptides, amino acids, fatty acid
derivatives
Binding of ligand results in conformational change that allows the receptor to associate with a trimeric G protein in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane
This association activates the G protein which dissociates from the receptor and transmits the signal to the effector enzyme or ion channel
